Caught in the Act: Real (and Really Funny) Stories From Our Readers

Having my mother walk in on me while I'm doing the deed most certainly tops my most hellish nightmares list, even before being stranded on a single log smack in the center of the Pacific Ocean and driving my car off a bridge Vampire Diaries-style. Unfortunately for them, there are people who've had my worst nightmare realized—but luckily for us, they've agreed to dish on the details. Get ready to get your giggle on below!

"My boyfriend and I were visiting his family for the holidays," says one woman," and one morning, we hopped in the shower together in the second-floor bathroom. When things heated up, we stepped out of the shower so that we could slip into a more comfortable position, if you catch my drift. I guess we forgot to lock the door, though, because we were about three thrusts into things when his dad walked in! He stuttered, turned, and ran—quite literally!—down the stairs. I still can't look the man in the eyes."

"When you're a college student living at home, you sometimes take stupid risks to have sex," says another. "So one night, after my boyfriend brought me home from a date, we decided to get things started on the couch. There was no way I could have brought him into my bedroom unnoticed—my mom's stairs are so creaky and her bedroom borders mine—so I convinced myself we were safer on the sofa. Not so much! Somehow, she managed to come down those creaky stairs and into the living room without us knowing. In fact, we didn't know she was there until she screamed in shock. Let me tell you, I was ready to move out before, but I really started looking for my own place the next day!"

"Years ago, my boyfriend and I were both living at home with our parents, so opportunities to have sex were few and far between," says another woman. "We often took a drive and pulled into an abandoned parking lot to get it on. One night, we parked in the back of an office building and got busy in the backseat. Imagine our surprise when a police car pulled up and an officer caught us frantically trying to get our clothes back on! I guess someone had spotted our car and called it in as suspicious activity!"
